| chinese artists regularly depict scenes set against rounded, knobby mountains like giant stone haystacks, but everyone knows those don’t exist—except in china. the li river valley in the yangshuo region is home to what geologists call tower karst, forested limestone pillars that erode from without and within, feeding the li river with countless waterfalls. visitors explore the region by boat, bike, and scooter, taking in the rare landscape that is as foreign as the language spoken in it. |
